FROM THE VICAR’S DESK Beloved ones in Christ,   Loving greetings in the name of our Lord, Jesus Christ.   One day a young man came to Campbell Morgan, the great preacher in Westminster chapel. He wanted to speak with him about serving the Lord. He came out with this statement: “I think, Mr. Morgan that God is calling me to the ministry”. Morgan replied: “For God’s sake son, stay out of it, if you only think that God is calling you, we don’t need people who think or suspect, what God needs are men of burden and men who are willing to take risks”.  Nehemiah was a man of burden. He responded positively to the call of God and submitted himself whole heartedly. Nehemiah had five tools in his tool box.  Waiting Nehemiah waited patiently on the Lord for an answer. Waiting time is not wasted time. Trusting Nehemiah says (2:3) that he was very much afraid. But his faith was greater than his fear. He believed and trusted in the promises of God. Praying Nehemiah was a man of prayer. He was always ready to shoot up with “instant messaging” with God – popcorn prayers. The secret of his success was prayer. Planning He had a master plan. He practiced both dependent praying and deliberate planning. We are called to pray and plan, to worship and work, to make requests and to fill our requisitions. Testifying Nehemiah gave testimony to the goodness of God, in answering his prayers, guiding his mind, directing his speech and meeting his needs. Nehemiah said, “The gracious hand of my God was upon me”. As we move into our time to build the new church, we must use the tools of waiting, trusting, praying, and planning. And then we will see God do something truly amazing. When He does, we will testify about His gracious provision.  May God bless you all Rev. Sojee Vergis John
